Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences Beijing China ; 2. Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research CAS Beijing China) Abstract Based on experiments in the field a comparison of modified referenced evapotranspiration model such as Penman model and Priestley2Taylor model actual evapotranspiration model such as Penmen2Men2 teithin model for closed canopy and Shuttleworth2Wallace model for sparse canopy is made. Observed data of soil moisture in two years of different climatic patterns is used to simulate the variation of soil moisture. The results show that in dry years the fitness of four models is better than that in rainy years especially for dy2 namical models. In rainy years when maize plants fully grow the fitness of Shuttleworth2Wallace model is better than that of Penman2Menteith model but in dry years when leaf area is bigger the fitness of Penman2 model is better. Comparatively fitness of modified referenced evapotranspiration models is stable owing to those models including parameters of soil moisture. There are many parameters in dynamical models among which some parameters are not observed. Therefore when maize plant is small and the moisture content in surfaces of both leaves and soil varied frequently the fitness of dynamical models is unstable. The results al2 so show that the fitness of variation of soil moisture content simulated by using environmental factors is reason2 able in a certain time scale and a big accumulated error will appear on a long time scale over one month. Key words Actual evapotranspiration ; Soil moisture content ; Evapotranspiration model ; Climatic pattern of year ; (1957 )
